Construction crews were out working through the night last night on the road... possibly starting to repave soon? Also, all landcapeing/gass is in... rocks were used in the median instead of mulch which is a nice look and will eliminate all the mulch getting washed away within a few months.. They also finished putting up all the lighting (there was still a few missing until mid week last week) and started working on the universitry ridge traffic lights (put up the light holders, put up some of the cross walk lights, and put up the last arm).
Still curious to see what they are going to do with the areas of road where there is no median... my guess is just yellow paint but it seems like they could have made the medians bigger instead of just painting.
~45 more days if there going to hit their deadline.. which it seems like they will.

Lights were on last night... looked like a runway. Beauiful thing to see. The lights are the whitish/blueish tint like they said they were going to use so they really do a nice job lighting up the street. They also worked on the road through the night pulling up the old pavement.

I drove through around 9:00 PM. Runway is a good term, as you can clearly see both dark ends. It is quite odd that you have these very few blocks of intense lighting and then dark on either end. Had the light continued on into downtown over the viaduct and in the other direction continue on to Mills Mill, it would have the feeling of a true game changing project. As is, it looks like tax money dumped into one tiny pocket.

We have to start somewhere, do we not? I don't think Max Heller got it wrong when he started with a concentrated set of blocks of Main Street. We've seen that grow north, south east AND west since then. There is no instant gratification with an undertaking the size of the Haynie-Sirrine revitalization.
